Love this cartBought this cart for my daughter to use in her dorm. It was very easy to put together. Loved how much weight it could hold. We put my daughter's microwave on top of the refrigerator and misc items on top of the microwave. It held up great all year.
I didn't care for the little "nails/screws" that are used to hold the draws in place-they are easily lost. They aren't necessary, just think there could be a better solution.

Great for Printer StandI wanted to get dual monitors for my home pc but the printer was sitting on the right side. I had been eyeing this for a while and when I saw that others had used it as a printer stand and the nice mesh drawers below can hold paper and supplies, I went for it. My husband said it was pretty easy to put together, probably would have been easier if he followed directions. I like having the casters in case I want to move it around and the printer is out of my way now.
Very happy with this purchase. Got the white top.

So glad I found this!!I have been looking for something like this for years. Can't believe I found it in your catalog. I have a small upright freezer a little bigger than the pictured refrigerator and it fit perfectly. I now have extra storage instead of dead space. Also, it was easy to put together.

Great for the office, tooI bought the floor model of this unit, which included a second giant mesh basket instead of the two smaller ones pictured above.
Marketed as a fridge cart, I found it to work really well as a rolling desk cabinet. It fits just under my desk, and the wheels are functional and smooth, even for shag carpet. The larger baskets are huge and can accommodate a lot of paperwork and knick knacks (of course, stored in other organizers also bought at the Container Store).
The only think I didn't like about this product was that there weren't many options for the color of the top shelf/panel. The default pictured is an awkward greyish wood print. I bought adhesive backed black vinyl to remedy that problem, and because I got a steep discount on the floor model, I can't say I mind. Though, I think it would have bothered me more if I had bought this unit at full price.

Definitely worth the expenseI bought this cart for my freshman year of college in hopes to use it for our micro fridge unit but ended up using it for our tv. Nonetheless, it still works out perfectly and ended up having way more storage space than I imagined. The bottom drawer has proven to hold many dishes while the top two drawers can hold a lot of food. So far I have had no problems with it and putting it together was rather easy as well. I would highly recommend this to any college student living in a dorm as it is a great space saver.

Great Nightstand!We purchased these to use as nightstands in our bedroom. We are loving not only the look but the great useable space. So much better than the "actual" night stands we have had for 20 years. Highly recommended!

Wonderful for the dorm!!!The compact fridge cart is great for adding some storage to a space that is already taken! There are now three drawers under the mini fridge in the dorm room. The drawers are large enough for snack foods and some things to fix in the microwave.

Loved it with two commentsWe loved the fridge cart. Very sturdy; perfect for holding our 3.5 cubic feet 'compact' refrigerator. The top chipped, near the corners, in two places, but I was able to cover the spots with a Sharpie. Pins, for stopping the drawers from sliding all the way through the unit, are included, but they are tiny and slip out a lot. So, I glued them in. But, I’m going to buy the In & Out Clips, too.

Cool and HandyI love this fridge cart. It makes everything that has to do with snacks neat and orderly. The height of the cart brings the fridge up to a nice level , no bending down to floor for me. It is a college student's dream. Even on vacation, it is a great personal assistant for overnight guest providing them with a late midnight snack.

Excellent with one problemThe only issue I have with this otherwise wonderful cart are the pins that are used as drawer stops. First I didn't read the instructions correctly and didn't put the top drawer stops before I assembled the body. Once assembled I couldn't get it apart to place them in the holes. I used hot glue to put them in upside down. The other pins had to be glued in as well. The pins are short just barely long enough to go through the two holes when the cart is jostled as it will be during use they pop out of place. This one issue could make this cart frustrating to use. As the drawers would not have a stop. BUT other than that this cart fits the bill!

Solid and functionalCart is sturdy, easy to assemble, and the baskets make it an efficient use of space. It was pretty well packaged but a small chunk of the melamine-covered particleboard top on mine had chipped off in transit. I oriented the top so it isn't noticeable because I didn't want to hassle with a return, but that's something to check for right away.

just what I was looking forMy aunt moved into assisted living, and wanted to have a small refrigerator. She cannot bend down, so this cart brings the fridge right up in front of her. The fridge we bought was a 3.1 cu ft 2 door Kenmore, it fits perfectly on top. The storage bins hold a lot of stuff, they are about 20"x20", one is deeper than the other two. Well made and sturdy, you can't go wrong. Caster wheels make it easy to move around.

PerfectI mostly got this because it hurt my back to constantly bend down to put things in and take things out of my fridge, and all the extra storage was just a bonus.
Some other reviewers have stated that the top does not attach by anything more than some strong double-sided sticky tape. I have a larger sized mini fridge and I think the weight helped secure the tape more than a small fridge might have.

Very UsefulI got this cart when i went to college 4 years ago. It was wonderful in school because It provided extra storage for food (so I didn't always have to eat in the cafeteria). And now that I've graduated and moved into my first apartment I use it still. I have it in my kitchen and I put my microwave on it. I have a large microwave and this is the perfect place to put it so it doesn't take up any counter space (since it's so limited in apartment kitchens) I also still love the extra storage since I don't have many cabinets. This honestly has to be my favorite purchase from the Container store and I strongly recommend it. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that the board that goes across the top just sits on top it doesn't actually attach so it can slide off if you run into it.

Elfa Fridge CartThis cart not only looks great, but has multifunctional use. It raises the mini refrigerator up to a useful level while supplying ample storage space with the 3 mesh drawers underneath. The drawers slide out for ease of storage and are made from mesh so you can easily see what's inside. This cart gets a thumbs up!!!

MULTI USEThis item works GREAT as a printer stand (HP Photosmart Plus)!!
The 2 smaller drawers hold small office supplies, printer ink, a ream of paper, etc. I used a double size drawer on the bottom to hold cakes of discs, disc cases, software, photo paper, etc. I recommend getting the drawer liners, too. This has been a TERRIFIC purchase!! Easy assembly, quality, good looks, and suppplies are close at hand-tucked away neatly.

Well worth the expenseWe purchased the fridge cart for my daughter's dorm room. It safely and securely holds her fridge/microwave and puts them at an easy to use height. She uses the drawers below for all of her "kitchen" items - plates, popcorn, utensils etc. It has ample space for everything she uses. She plans to use it as a printer cart when she moves out of her dorm. Well worth it!

1.44&quot; difference

The dimensions of the mini fridge purchased for my son is : 18.5&quot; W x 22.44&quot; D x 32.87&quot; H. I read that the top of fridge cart is 21&quot; X 21&quot; and with that consideration, will the extra 1.44&quot; depth difference of my fridge matter or I should not try it.

Asked by: TABW1

If the bottom of the fridge is within the 21&quot; not including the addition inches for the door then it should be fine. If the bottom base of the fridge is more than 21&quot; we do not recommend the fridge cart.

How much does the cart weigh?

Just need to know if I'm going to need help getting it up the stairs. Thanks.

How much weight can this cart hold? Want to use if for a 3.2 mini frig that weighs 70lbs

Asked by: rkklichter23

The elfa Compact Fridge Cart can support up to 99 pounds with the included casters or a bit more weight sans casters.

Can the Compact Fridge Cart be easily disassembled for storage between uses?

Asked by: Student

The Platinum elfa Mesh Compact Fridge Cart can be disassembled, but disassembly and reassembly on a regular basis could weaken the frame.
Because of the size (21&quot; by 21&quot; by 20-7/8&quot; high) and mobility of the cart, moving it from one place to another should be fairly easy without disassembly.

Variation on the weight question previously asked

I see a couple of answers on the weight limit for this cart and was hoping for some clarity. A year old answer indicates &quot;up to 70 pounds&quot; while a 2 month old answer says &quot;a little more than 50 pounds&quot;.
I am interested in knowing if a true weight rating exists? Given that the fridge will weigh considerably more loaded with liquids (sodas, water, etc) will a 50 pound fridge plus 20-30 pounds of food and water cause issues?
And is there a difference if the cart is used without the wheels?
Thanks, sorry for the long winded question. :-)

Asked by: SeanStJames

Thank you for pointing this out. We apologize for any confusion. We now have confirmation that this will hold up to 99 pounds with the casters on it. If the casters are removed, the weight maximum increases to about 125 pounds.

Resources & Tips

You remember it. I remember it. And our kids are going to remember it: the college dorm room. And while some things change - my beloved Sting poster that was on my wall is now replaced by what? Maybe a lovely piece of art or montage of fun photos of friends and memories? Some things never change when it comes to dorm rooms - it's probably the smallest space you'll ever reside.
